Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup whole green moong dal
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • ¼ tsp asofetida
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp red chili pepper (adjust per taste)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  • Wash the whole green moong dal in a bowl.
  • Press 'Saute' mode on Instant Pot and add avocado oil to inner pot.
  • Once avocado oil is heated, add asafetida, garlic and ginger and let it sizzle for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the washed and strained green moong dal to the inner pot.
  • Add the remainder of the spices and water. Mix well.
  • Press 'Cancel' on the IP. Then, press 'Bean/Chili' mode and adjust the timer to 20 minutes. Make sure the valve on the lid is set to the 'Sealing' position.

Notes

  1. There is no need to soak whole green moong dal.  After I rinse the moong dal, I set it aside in a bowl of water until I am ready to strain it and add it to the Instant Pot.
